A further object of the invention is found in the particular construction of the garment herein shown wherein the three garment-s in one are supported, from a singlepair of shoulder straps, said construction embodying the securing or support of the upper portion of the combined brassire and bloomers from the upper portion or upper end-of the skirt or slip, thus carrying a doublev portion of the material above the -Waistline of the wearer.A `and alfordin'g ,the use of the upper portion Aof the bloomer garment as a chemise or brassire. i A

The upper chemise portion of the bloomer garment, as will hereinafter be explained'is provided with a draw string or ribbon forA tightening to afford the use .of such garment portion as a brassire.
